Categories : Condiments/Seasonings Volume 3, Dec. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 head garlic -- or two
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup olive oil Separate one head of garlic into cloves and peel. Be sure to keep

running water. Drain, dry well, then put in a blender with oil and pulse
until chopped. Do not blend to a puree or the oil and garlic will be too
difficult to separate! 2. Strain puree immediately through a fine-mesh strainer. Strain again

* Exported from MasterCook * Gialetti: Venetian Lemon Cornmeal Cookies Recipe By :
Serving Size : 48 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Volume 3, Dec. '98
Fruit Italian Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3/4 C currants or dark raisin
3 Tbs. dark rum
2 Tbs. all-purpose flour -- plus 1 1/2 C.
1 C. fine yellow stone-ground cornmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsps. baking powder
1/4 lb. butter -- softened
3/4 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbs. finely minced lemon peel
1 whole egg -- plus 1 egg yolk
Butter for greasing baking sheets Soak the currants in the rum for 30 minutes, stirring a few
times to mix. Over a small bowl, drain the currants in a strainer. Most
of the rum will have been absorbed, but if any remains, add it to the
batter later on. Spread the two tablespoons of flour on a piece of waxed
paper, then toss the drained currants in the floured waxed paper and set
aside. In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, 1 1/2 cups flour, salt
and baking powder, then sift and set aside. In the bowl of a food
processor, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add
the vanilla and lemon peel and process until combined. Add the egg and
egg yolk and combine well. Then add all the dry ingredients and process
until well mixed. Add the currants and any remaining rum and process
until well combined. The dough will be thick and sticky. Scrape it out
into a bowl, cover, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375F. and butter two or three baking sheets.
Working with half the dough at a time and keeping the rest chilled, turn
it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead four or five times,
incorporating a bit of the flour from the surface. Then, with a floured
rolling pin, roll out 1/4 inch thick and cut with a 2 inch triangle
cookie cutter (stars, ovals or round ones can also be used, of course).
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart,
since they spread slightly and puff up. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or
until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. Cool on the baking
sheets for a few minutes before transferring the cookies carefully with
a spatula to a wire rack for further cooling. Repeat, rerolling the
scraps as well, until all the dough is used up, Stored in an airtight
container, they will keep for 1 week. In Italian dialect they are called zaletti and almost every Venetian
household has a recipe for them with some variations. The standards are
always yellow cornmeal, from which they take their name, and either
currants or raisins. GAYLE'S NOTE: I had trouble using a cookie cutter because the currents
didn't cut easily, so I cut diamonds with a chef's knife. MAKES 4 DOZEN 2-INCH COOKIES Posted on FareShare 12-98 by Gayle/ddmmom - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
